After some more than decent motherboards and graphics cards, MSI is readying its newest product line that is closely tied to the PC enthusiast community, high-performance solid-state drives. A picture and data-sheet of its Reflex series of client SSDs were leaked to the media.

MSI is using the trusty LSI-SandForce SF-2281 controller to drive its Reflex series, along with conventional synchronous NAND flash memory. The drive will be available in three models, 60 GB RX-60, 120 GB RX-120, and 240 GB RX-240. The three come with different performance numbers from each other.

The RX-60 offers up to 525 MB/s sequential reads, up to 495 MB/s sequential writes, and up to 85,000 IOPS 4K random writes; the RX-120 comes with slightly higher numbers of up to 550 MB/s sequential reads, up to 515 MB/s sequential writes, and up to 90,000 IOPS 4K random writes; with the series being topped by RX-240, and its 560 MB/s sequential reads, up to 525 MB/s sequential writes, and up to 90,000 IOPS 4K random write performance.

Being SF-2281 driven, the Reflex series has a conventional feature-set that includes TRIM, NCQ, and AES-128 native encryption. Expect pricing that's typical for similarly configured drives. Availability information is awaited.
